What was with them trying to make Ryou into the hunky male that every female character fawns over? That's absolutely nothing like how he is in the games...not to mention that he's awfully plain. ;/

Not much to say about this episode until the dub airs. It seemed really weird and disjointed, though, like the scenes were all really forced and pieced together badly. Ryou's childhood story also irritated me. He was kind of a jerk to his Wurmple. "IT'S YOUR FAULT WE LOST!!!1!one" Dude, it's a friggin' worm. Do you expect it to be strong?

If I were his Wurmple (or Beautifly now...whatever), I wouldn't have come back. Ever.

Not so hot?

But yeah, this episode seems pretty bland, even if it is different for an E4 episode.

Wow...it's sad how poorly recieved this episode was. I myself wasn't fond of it either. Maybe people had high expectations, considering that it was an E4 episode, but the writers really should have tried harder.

1. We'll go through each match knowing Ash will win
2. We'll have to sit through the same battle multiple times

I dunno, I'm just wondering how they'll handle it.

Probably the same as a regular league, if you lose once then that's it and you can't re-challenge them for another year. The excitement will be hopefully Ash using all his older Pokemon from all previous sagas, and seeing Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and even Johto Pokemon help him battle through it.

I'm predicting Ash will lose to Cynthia if it happens, so I don't think Ash will be able to re-challenge her.

aaron didn't even put up a good fight at all he sucked. what was that all about, isn't he one of the ELITE FOUR and he lost to team rocket...heck i now that TR has theyr moments as does everyone, but this was just sad...aaron discraesed E4 with that show of poorly trained pknm...

Aaron never lost to TR, his Pokemon were acting without their trainer and Carnivine managed to get a lucky hit on Vespiquen. Drapion looked round to see if she was ok (Because the DARK type is nice like that) and got hit with Poison Tail. They then got back up almost straight away. They never actually lost.

More like the Pokemon were without their trainer. Team Rocket got a lucky shot on them.

Drapion is probably madly in love with Vespiquen or something O.o

And it saddens me that this episode wasn't all that great. I was hoping for something better from an Elite Four episode, especially one with Aaron. Personally, I would have liked to see more insight on his character, not just a bland backstory with him being a jerk to a Wurmple... *sigh*

Also, it is interesting that Ash might potentially battle the Elite Four in order to win the League. In all the other seasons it was pretty much just a tournament between the top Trainers, nothing like the games.

Not a terrible episode, per se, just a little slow, and empty.
I couldn't quite catch why it was that Aaron left Wurmple in the first place, and why so much attention was paid to that damned Skorupi (not a fan of it, or it's evo).
I like Aaron's character (and his green 'do'), but to be beaten by TR's Carnivine and Seviper, is incredibly weak, and just doesn't paint a good impression of the first member of the E4. Thankfully Lucian or Cynthia haven't been painted that way.
